Tell a Yarn...
What could be better than working on your favorite knitting or crocheting project while someone reads out loud to you?
Join our yarn circle/adult story time for your dose of productive relaxation! Starting Wednesday, June 10, we'll be reading The Opposite of Murder by Sophie Hannah. A woman walks into a police station and confesses to planning a murder — then her intended victim turns up dead, killed exactly as described. Perfect alibi or perfect cover? The best part is that our yarn circlers get a chance to listen to the book before it's published in August!
Best-seller Gillian McAllister says, "Why would somebody confess to a murder they have yet to commit? Hannah answers this with her trademark flair, creativity and stylish prose. I loved it." And the Belfast Telegraph opines that "Oh, this is very clever indeed."
Bring your yarn projects to the Library on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 to 3 pm in the Sheffer Gallery. We'll read aloud while you work on your project. Or you can just listen — no working necessary! No registration is required, and no yarn instruction provided.
